As the omni-channel contact center experience grows more complex, it can be challenging to maintain consistency and continuity. With more companies shifting toward a remote work environment, it’s even more important to equip agents with the same service capabilities regardless of location.

Five9 Contact Center as a Service keeps businesses of all sizes poised for growth.

Aging on-premises contact center solutions can’t keep pace with the rapidly changing telecommunications landscape. As a result, limited technical capabilities can hold companies back. By contrast, the feature-rich functionality of Five9 Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS) from CBTS keeps businesses of all sizes nimble and poised for growth.

Cloud-based contact center solutions can help companies keep pace with these changes by equipping agents to provide stellar service across channels, leveraging advanced features and unlimited integration capabilities to stay ahead of the curve. By offering Five9 Contact Center as a Service, CBTS gives enterprise clients a scalable platform to enhance the customer experience while streamlining agent workflows. Combining these contact center tools with Unified Communication as a Service (UCaaS) solutions from CBTS empowers companies to future-proof their contact center experience for remote agents and customers.

This blog will discuss a few ways Five9 and CBTS are working together to expand customer service communication capabilities.

Delivering a seamless contact center experience

Call center agents can’t provide a streamlined customer experience if they have to toggle between multiple systems to field incoming calls, use outbound dialers, or switch from voice to other channels. The Five9 blended contact center unifies inbound and outbound calling features to bridge this gap so agents can access multiple applications simultaneously through a single cloud-based platform.

In addition, CCaaS and UCaaS solutions connect agents with customers across voice, e-mail, web, social, chat, and mobile. Built-in integrations and advanced API capabilities offer connectivity to critical business applications that agents use every day. Customers ultimately benefit from this seamless experience, thanks to integrations with Salesforce, Microsoft (Dynamics), NetSuite, Oracle (Service Cloud), ServiceNow, Sugar CRM, Velocify, Zendesk, and Zoho. This collaboration also includes open REST-based API functionality that integrates with existing systems, enabling higher quality service across channels.
